White Night Is Still Chasing Us, xxx / Raking in the Cash

Amidst the screams of the crowd, Bai Ye created a vortex of wind around their bodies, gradually slowing their descent. Finally, as they approached the ground, a burst of airflow pushed them back down, completely halting their fall.

Finally, everyone fell from a low altitude into the snow on the frozen ground, which had been softened by the air currents.

"Stop yelling, you've landed safely."

Bai Ye landed on his feet, appearing to be the easiest one, and pulled the operators who were stuck in the snow out one by one.

Even after Kroos fell to the ground, she was still screaming with her eyes closed, which really made him laugh.

No one was injured.

Adnachiel stood up on his own, looking quite well, and immediately looked up at the sky.

What's going on?

Following his gaze, everyone looked up and saw that the aircraft did not look like it had crashed at all. It drew an arc in the air with a graceful posture, then circled and slowed down to descend, deployed its landing gear, and slowly landed on the snow.

"This..."

For a moment, they were all caught off guard.

"Fake?" Stewards rubbed his face, his mouth agape.

"Supervisor, is this what combat training is like?" Melantha asked from the side.

Bai Ye shook his head. "It's not really a real battle yet. It's just to let you get used to what we would do if the plane really crashed."

Bai Ye couldn't guarantee he wouldn't crash, so he played a little trick and conducted a rehearsal first.

The alarms largely misled everyone, and the turbulence was deliberately caused by him controlling the airflow.

Yeah suddenly realized. "You activated the Originium Arts that buffered and slowed down, so the stealth effect on the aircraft failed!"

"Yes, that's right." Bai Ye nodded, then said apologetically, "Yeah, in order to ensure the safety of the accompanying doctor, I also have to let you participate in the exercise. I'm sorry to have startled you."

Yeah shook her head. "I'm a frontline operator, this is nothing to me, although it is indeed a bit exciting."

"You're right. If we're ever in real danger again, we can survive."

The operators all expressed their understanding of Bai Ye's "joke".

Suddenly, Kroos reached out her hand to Bai Ye: "Manager, can we do it again! It was so exciting! Like a roller coaster."

"Let's go back to the aircraft first."

Bai Ye shook her head. This guy was indeed outrageous. While others were terrified, she was getting excited.

In fact, this was Bai Ye's first time parachuting at such a height without armor, and to be honest, he was under a lot of pressure.

He had indeed done so in the past, but at that time he was wearing Powered Armor —the sixth version of the "Thunder Hammer" Powered Armor, which he customized himself and which was manufactured for him by R.G. Industries.

Bai Ye did not stay in the snow with her operators.

He pulled them all into the cabin and then turned on the heater. Bai Ye then served them hot chocolate drinks.

"Hurry up and dry your body, then have something warm to drink."

Kroos and Stewards were fine; one was from Laterano and the other from Sierakow, both used to living in icy and snowy environments, and the Ursus frozen tundra felt like home to them.

Melantha, Adnachiel, and Ansel were the unluckiest; they all froze, the weather here was too cold for them.

"Miss Melantha, here you go."

Bai Ye handed a hand warmer to Melantha so the girl could hold it in her arms.

The little girl blushed as she accepted Bai Ye's gift.

Looking at the operators in the cabin, Bai Ye was honestly quite surprised.

This was a terrifying experience that defied common sense, and it would be extremely difficult for ordinary people to accept. Bai Ye had prepared himself for the resentment of these operators, yet they uttered not a single complaint or grudge.

"Supervisor... are you alright?"

Miss Melantha, seeing that Bai Ye was distracted, spoke up to comfort him.

"Um?"

"I think the supervisor is probably the one under the most pressure," Melantha said, taking small sips of her hot Chocolat.

"..." Bai Ye fell silent. Where did this little angel come from?

She actually thought of him like that.

Actually, she was right.

Bai Ye was under the most pressure. If he hadn't used Originium Arts to capture the whereabouts of the others in time, this exercise would have turned into a real accident.

This is no joke; the price is the lives of the operators.

Bai Ye wasn't doing this as a joke.

"Thank you, I'm fine." Bai Ye couldn't help but pat Melantha's head. He now understood why this shy girl had become the captain of the A4 Operations Reserve Team.

This is a person who is considerate of others.

It's easier said than done.

Especially when dealing with someone who just threw you off a plane...

Chapter 117 Bai Ye is still chasing us, xxx

After Bai Ye "calmed" the frightened trainee operator and was healed by Miss Melantha, he returned to his cockpit. After Bai Ye left, the operators in the cockpit began to discuss this rather outrageous supervisor.

"Hmm, it seems I need to reassess my impression of the supervisor. He's such a devil, just throwing people down like that..."

Still shaken, Ansel patted his unremarkable chest and muttered to himself.

At first, Bai Ye even thought this was a pink-haired bunny girl. He felt sorry for the child, even more absurd than a No. 45 steel plate—until he saw in the file that this pink-haired bunny was actually a boy...

Wait a minute, it seems even more tragic from this perspective.

"Isn't that right?" Stewards nodded in agreement.

The most outrageous thing was that Kroos a little disappointed. "Am I the only one who thought it was exciting and fun? Actually, I want to do it a few more times!"

"Please don't, it's bad for your heart," Ansel said, waving his hands repeatedly.

Adnachiel, standing to the side, shook his head. "Theoretically speaking, there will probably be several such events. Captain, what do you think?"

"..."

"Huh? Why isn't the captain saying anything?" Stewards scratched his head.

"..."

"Melantha, are you hurt? Huh—" Kroos, who was sitting next to Melantha, quickly turned her head to check, only to see her captain sitting blankly in the chair with her face flushed and her eyes rolling around like mosquito rings.

"Um, Melantha seems to be acting strange..." Kroos, somewhat puzzled, and poked her companion's face.

"I guess he was killed by being patted on the head," Yeah shrugged. "What an adorable child."

Amidst this noisy atmosphere, Bai Ye conducted three more "parachute jumps" in a devilish manner.

Incidentally, Miss Melantha didn't recover until just before the next "parachute jump".

At night, Bai Ye piloted his aircraft to land in the snowfield, but he found no trace of the Reunion Movement today.

After jumping off the plane, Yeah approached Bai Ye and asked, her expression somewhat unnatural. "Director Bai Ye, is the target we need to assist located on this frozen ground?"

Bai Ye was adjusting the radio when he heard the question. He nodded and said, "That's right."

As he spoke, he raised the radio in his hand. "In order to evade the search and capture of the Infected Provost, these infected can only hide and kill indiscriminately on the frozen ground, so we can only contact them through the hidden channel of the radio."

To avoid being exposed, Bai Ye and Talulah had not agreed on any means of communication, and he could only find this Squad Five through the special marks left by the Reunion Movement.

"The Infected Provost..." Yeah bit her lip. "I don't really understand why Professor Kal'tsit would allow us to enter the Ursus Empire to assist the Infected—this action is undoubtedly an act of antagonizing an official force."

"Yes, so we're not acting under Rhodes Island's name right now." Bai Ye placed a work badge in Yeah's hand. "From now on, you are temporarily an outstanding employee of Nanba Heavy Industries."

"So that's what you were thinking." Yeah looked at the well-made employee badge in her hand, which had her employee number and job title on it.

After putting down the radio, Bai Ye stood there watching the reserve operators preparing dinner in the camp not far away. He was silent for a moment before speaking, "Perhaps you harbor anger towards the Ursus Empire, but those infected are innocent."

"I know." After hearing Bai Ye's words, Yeah slowly clenched her fists. "I can tell the difference. If you are worried that I will take my anger out on the civilians, then you are overthinking it."

"I will do everything I can to treat the patients."

"Thank you." Bai Ye smiled.

Yeah was Dr. Kal'tsit's student, and he was actually a little worried about her.

Bai Ye knew that Yeah would eventually find out about the Reunion Movement and his plans, and who knew what would happen then.

We can only take it one step at a time.

Actually, he initially wanted to recruit a naive and easily fooled medical operator, but he didn't expect the old woman to send her own student instead.

Bai Ye was a little unsure whether the old woman already knew something and was pretending not to know.

Which floor is she on?

"Manager Bai Ye, the meal is ready!" Not far away, Adnachiel waved to Bai Ye.

'There's another small team... I need to figure out how to arrange things with them.'

Bai Ye took out the terminal, and even though the temperature of the permafrost was very low, this thing could still work normally, which was quite reliable.

He began analyzing radio stations and developing his next plan.

The next morning, when Melantha came out of her tent dressed, she found that Bai Ye was already outside packing up the campsite.

"Good morning, supervisor." Melantha was still a little awkward when she saw Bai Ye.

However, when she looked up, she found that the aircraft was not activated and looked cold inside.

"Didn't the supervisor sleep last night?" Melantha initially thought that Bai Ye slept in the aircraft, but now it seems that's not the case.

"You're all sleeping so soundly, someone has to keep watch," Bai Ye replied casually.

"Uh—" Melantha was speechless for a moment, not knowing what to say, her face full of shame.

"Don't worry about it, you can all get some rest. I was just planning to take the night watch myself anyway." Bai Ye's tone was quite gentle; he hadn't originally planned for others to take turns keeping watch.

"But..."

Melantha's words were interrupted by Bai Ye: "It's nothing. Rather, you should rest well so you'll have the energy to cope with the upcoming training."

Melantha was touched upon hearing this.

After the other prospective operators woke up, they also learned about this from the girl.

Everyone felt a warm feeling in their hearts.

It seems the new instructor isn't such a monster after all; he's actually been working hard behind the scenes...

She's a gentle person!

However, an hour later—

"Give me back my gratitude!"

"Bai Ye is still chasing us, damn it!"

"Aaaaaahh..."

The operatives of the preparatory operation team gritted their teeth and ran wildly across the frozen ground, having long since forgotten the feelings of gratitude and warmth they once had.

Behind them, Bai Ye relentlessly pursued them in a snowmobile modified for snow use.

Chapter 118 Harvesting Leeks

Bai Ye naturally heard the operatives' wailing and howling. He honked the horn and laughed loudly, "Hahaha, weren't you curious why there were motorcycles in the cabin?"

That's the reason!

"Looks like you guys still have the energy to keep shouting and yelling. I need to speed things up too!"
